Albany,n.y. Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 After the Cleveland game Tasker said on the TV broadcast he favored Peterman to start opening day. This whole week, all Tasker has been doing on his WGR show with Murphy is shill for Peterman. He's talked up Peterman more than the guy's agent would if he had a radio show.

Direhard Fan Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 If it's between Peterman or Allen , I rather see Peterman just because he has the year experience. Let Josh learn from the bench and don't get him killed the first year. I worry about the "O" line letting that happen. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont understand people who say "learn from the bench." If you learn so much from the bench, how come the rate of backups turning starters is so low? If you like what you see from your rookie QB, you start him. If he's "RUINED" early on in his career and has his "confidence" hurt because of a few bad games, he has no business being an NFL QB in the first place.

He looks good on paper because of his completion %. I don't have as high an opinion of Peterman as you, that doesn't mean I hate him. He can be a good backup but I wouldn't want him as my starter. At best he can be good, Allen at best will be great. I want great, not good. I want Allen to start from day 1, learn on the job & be ready to lead a Super Bowl contender in 2019. I don't want to be KC, whose 2nd year QB is learning on the job in his sophomore year. Edited August 22, 2018 by Albany,n.y. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Objectively, Nate has been fantastic in this pre-season. But Allen should start Week 1. It's all about him until IF and when he shows us it's not about him. Just now, Freddie's Dead said: Tasker's just more cautious than the rest of us. As many times as we been burned, we are gulping down the KoolAid. That's how it works. Bills fans have remarkably short memories. EJ is drafted: "Our savior!" Big trade up for Sammy: "We'll be unstoppable now!" Rex is hired: "Instant national relevancy; great hire!" Tyrod comes to town: "Finally a franchise QB!" And so on. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greeneblitz Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 "Sitting and learning" is such a dumb concept when you are learning from Nathan Fricking Peterman 38.4 QB rating, 49% completion percentage, 2 tds 5 ints, sorry I like him, but in real games he's terrible, no way do we want Allen learning anything from him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then by that token, whats the proof that Nathan Peterman can teach Josh Allen anything, after all thats the only question of sitting and learning" whats the point, if it where Ryan Fitzpatrick or Josh McCown there may be a point, not a guy thats played all of 4 quarters and been terrible in those 4 quarters, if the coaching staff thought that highly of Peterman we shouldn't have given up all those assets to draft Allen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Things Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) I was a HUGE Tasker fan back in the day, but gotta say that he can be quite annoying on "One Bills Live". Each time he says, "Here's the thing...", "sipping the Kool-Aid" or "Nathan Peterman" , I just want to punch myself in the face. Stick to TV sideline reporting Steve, you do a good job there! Radio?

Jerome007 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Sitting can make sense when you sense he's not fully ready but learning in the film room and practices, when there is one or two vets with him with at least one teaching him the ropes and the like. So far Allen has shown that while he'll make rookie mistakes and have some growing pains, he is almost as ready if not as ready as the others, has more upsides, and Nate has just a few quarters of NFL experience. Anyway, this coming preseason game will likely help clarify this. Trust the process guys LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The games you listed are like the salty, terrible NY winters. You run out your pos beater and keep your Corvette in the garage until it's nice out. Josh Allen is the Corvette to keep in the garage during that hellish storm. Nathan Peterman is the cheap winter beater you drive through the storm because you still need to get to work, but if you wreck it, it's cheap and worthless Nathan "beater" Peterman.

Mickey Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Tasker was not at all happy that we drafted Allen. In fairness, he was not alone. I tweeted something before the draft that Murphy read on the air that was positive about Allen and Steve was fuming. That is not to say that he didn't have good reasons for his opinion its just that it might be hard for him to double back and really pull for Allen now. I don't think a few preseason games have changed his opinion on Allen all that much. On top of that, its hard to deny that Peterman is looking good so far. Look, emotions were high all off season about these QB's, its going to take some time for it all to settle out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
